STOP HERE, if you are not (18+). But, what has numbers actually got to do with what we read?

SHE
(Our mentally kills us too)

She wrote my name
With her pointed nipples,
in her teenage heart.

She has said it a million times
that she can die for me.
But, I didn't reply with my heart.
I only smiled and asked:
if she would open her WORLD too.
She said it's all she gat,
and for me, she can take a bullet.

I wondered how often
She has been drowned,
in the illusion of Nolly, Holly and the Bolly of WoodS.

She would suggest
We fly up high to touch the stars.
She would laugh without her head,
and when I smile
She sinks into my mouth
Sex-ing my lips.
With her over-CERVILIZED lips.

She even talks about
Pant wet-ing these days.
That her vaginal needs a feel
Of a rough male hand
That can drive her like a roller coaster.
That her breast,
are ripe enough to be plucked. 

She would say that the world,
is at it youthful age.
That we can leave ourselves UN-preserved for decades.
After all, no one cares about anyone.

A MAGIC OF POETRY, MUSIC AND DIVERSE ARTitude

Gopoethick is an event organized to reshape the face of art and also to present poetry in an enjoyable manner. It started last year at Obafemi Awolowo University and here it is this year again. It is set to shake the fingers off their sockets. On the 15-7-2016,the things that shall happen at the "Pit Theater" of the Obafemi Awolowo University will break the boundaries of expectations.
Fart comes in different packages and so is the array of performers. An A-line of Nigeria's poets has been fine tuned to give 15 poetry performances which will bring fingers to tap to depth, punchlines, move the soul to quiver in spirit, yell in ecstasy, “hmm” to the power of words, jump when they cannot hold their eyes any longer and cry when their eyes cannot withstand the tears wanting to fall.

Much more than the magic of words, art and music is the fact that accommodations have been made available at a cheap price for travelers and people coming from other states. The next day, a Saturday, comes with an abnormal literary package, featuring − Mountaineering that goes with Kegite gyrations and poetry reading. After which, everyone returns to their various destinations with a feeling of pleasure.
In addition to this, there are beautiful T-shirts available for sale before the event, for people who want to rep Poetry in their locality. You can pre-order any of these tshirts at an affordable price, and it would be delivered to you wherever you are.
 
In conclusion, plans have been solidified to give the best fun in an extraordinary atmosphere.

#GoPoethick2016: A New Sermon by Chika Jones

As we dine on hopes, and wine on wishes. As we paint beautiful images of #GoPoethick, and leave you to anticipate this great event, enjoy this poem by Chika Jones titled "A New Sermon''.
 Chika Jones is an award winning poet and Engineer. 

A NEW SERMON 

“You are a woman,
Forty three years old,
Yet you are not married,
What kind of God do you serve?


So I opened those words,
and found a woman,
gang-raped by men,still beaten for adultery in Saudi,
her humiliation coming full circle,
and in the middle of that circle I found,
laws aimed at reducing women to something less,
and when I read those laws,
I found men born of women,
unable to stand the sight of their mothers and sisters
free,
Strong and equal,
and when I opened up those men,
I found me,
Seated in the back of the bus,
unable to stand up and say to the preacher:


” A woman not being married, is not a sign of failure”
“Women deserve everything men are given”
“A woman is not less than a man”.
